Wildfires are of the forest-related disasters caused by inhumane factors.  Spreading of these fires is due to the increase of the density of flammable plants. Two important approaches to prevent this occurrence are fuel treatment and fire suppression resources preparedness. In this paper, a mixed integer programming model is proposed based on the covering location and assignment problems which ...

Bonai Forest Division (BFD) is enjoying the tropical moist deciduous, dry and semi-evergreen forest. Among biotic abiotic factors, faunal species that are found on forest floor very important. They important members of food chain, feed upon dead decaying matter, after death, add organic matter to soil as a source nutrients for floral communities but there lack in documentation. For better under...

introduction forest ecosystems have continuously downgraded due to every environmental pressure including climate change, aerosols deposits, industrial pollutions and other degradation factors. the output soon or late would be a different forest. forest monitoring is a well-regulated and usually long running procedure, which has the ability to detect these phenomena and reactions based on aims ...

The predominant input of available nitrogen (N) in boreal forest ecosystems originates from moss-associated cyanobacteria, which fix unavailable atmospheric N2, contribute to the soil N pool, and thereby support forest productivity. Alongside climate warming, increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations are expected in Canada’s boreal region over the next century, yet little is known about the c...

Interrelationship among man, plants and animals in the Ituri Forest is described and analyzed. Plants contribute mainly to establish the material world of forest foragers, and their eternity gives man and animals living in the forest a sense of security and certainty for life. Animals are characterized by an ontological duality. They are like man and differ from it. They interact with man activ...

Thousands of plant species rely on ants to disperse their seeds, including many South American epiphytes and vines, which, apart from minimizing competition among seedlings, may also reduce competition among different plant species (Handel & Beattie, 1990). The lianas of the Genus Strychnos (Loganiaceae) are recognized as having fruits with highly poisonous seeds containing strychnine in the in...
